You took a rifle that had passed factory tests.

I'm really beginning to question that.
You had trouble firing your handloads.

No. I had trouble chambering handloads. I also had trouble chambering factory loads.
You've sought help on the Internet but haven't contacted the factory.

Sent an email; no response, yet.
You're dinking around with the rifle.

Not sure what you mean by "Dinking." I've used polishing compound in the chamber. This stuff is no more abrasive than many products used to remove lead and copper fouling. J-B Bore Compound comes to mind; available from ArmaLite.
You know, a lifetime warranty is a good thing. It isn't intended to back up home gunsmithing. Your work may be very good, but we aren't very inclined to patch it up.

I'm a, "Screw me once, shame on you; screw me twice, shame on me" kind of guy. I have a product that has a problem; I return it and wait (insert number of months here); maybe it's right the second time around, maybe it's not.
Our warranty program is a good feedback mechanism. Bottom line is that if there's a problem with one of our rifles it does us a lot of good to be able to see it. It doesn't do us, or you, a lot of good for us to see something else.
